6. Strip the incoming power leads and ground wire to expose a 3/8” length of bare conductor. Insert the bared por-
tion of the power leads into the other end of the insulated barrel connectors and crimp them.
7. Center the 3” length of heat shrink tubing over the connection. Apply heat evenly to shrink tubing around the
heating cable, barrel connectors and power leads.
8. While the shrink tubing is still hot, gently squeeze the shrink tubing between the power leads with needle-nose
pliers and hold until cool. The shrink tubing must remain visibly sealed when the pliers are removed. If the tubing
does not remain sealed, reheat tubing and try again.
